Rick Scott at an event in Charleston. (Photo: The US Report)Gov. Rick Scott has never and probably will never get a genuine tip of the hat from legacy media. Democrat policy underlies most media coverage. However, The Florida Times-Union included an editorial on Sunday giving Scott a hat tip he deserves. The editorial was penned by Sen. John Thrasher (R-6).

I wasn’t able to link to the editorial online because although it was blurbed on the front page, it’s in a ‘Members Only’ section.

Leftwing columns dominated the online page for the daily paper, with two columns carrying the usual rants. One columnist who is a serial complainer about any politician who doesn’t endorse so-called “progressive” politics opined Florida has too many “low paying” jobs.

An assortment of photos of Jennifer Keese as well as images of a person of interest are posted at a website her family created. (Snip: jenniferkeese.com)Imagine how many family members and friends in Cleveland are celebrating being reunited with their loved ones, probably having assumed the worst over the decade they had been missing. Amanda Berry, 26, Gina DeJesus, 23, and Michele Knight, 32, comprise that wonderful rarity—people gone missing who turn up alive.

The Cleveland narrative struck a chord in me because I’ve followed the case of a woman missing in Florida, Jennifer Keese.

FEMA ad targeting preppers. (U.S. Government)When media disclosed that the Newtown shooter’s mother was a prepper, pundits had a field day. The shooter’s mother had a hefty supply of guns, ammunition, food and water to allegedly prepare for Doomsday.

Preppers, however, aren’t just wingnuts or hyped up survivalists.

As a matter of fact, the federal government targets preppers with a whole section on the FEMA website.

Frame from a video about Muslim Capitol Day in Florida. (Snip: Bedier TV)A rally for the faithful in any religion is nothing new to Americans, one possible reason that Muslim Capitol Day didn’t draw much attention from media.

Muslims rallied on Feb. 28 in capital cities like Tallahassee (Fla.) and Austin (Texas) as part of a national effort to raise awareness about the political process and encourage people to be engaged.

Little reportage followed these events, but in Texas, one speaker’s comments sparked controversy.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to calculate the odds of ineligible votes determining who the next U.S. president is. After all, we have roughly 11 million foreign nationals in our country at present and President Barack Obama ignored current federal laws and Congress to offer them what amounts to amnesty.

It’s also generally known that identity documents are easy to come by.
